google it, in one article they change between hippy and hippie indescrminately I mean if you can't get your own group name consistent how are we meant to stereotype them?

good drugs though.
i have 3 friends called hippy, one is a drug dealer, one works for the AA (car breakdown not alcoholics anonymouse) and one is proffessional landlord so it does seem to be a pretty wide group though.

Truthfully? Iâ€™d have to say that I give about as much thanks to the hippie culture as I do to the suffragettes for having helped to mold the world I was allowed to grow up in.

Like it or not, no other movement (for lack of a better term) did more to break the stifling social and moral bonds of the Victorian era.

In fact, It strikes me as strange that the prevailing attitude in here is so anti-hippie. And you do what? Yearly get together to form a commune of free give-and-take based on brotherly love, where a hug and a smile are touted by all to have more value than gold?

I find that rather amusing, personally.

Itâ€™s like youâ€™ve decided to take all the â€œgood stuffâ€

I think hippies were trying to make a valid point, but it was lost on the majority of people they were trying to influence. The negative qualities ended up being so much noise that the point couldn't be heard. What was the point? I'm not even sure anymore since there are so many different subgroups with different agendas. Too stoned to organize?

delle, some of the hippies were sleeping under vehicles in the dirt! I thought it was a joke, then I SAW it for myself, ouch...got any spange man?

A hippie got into cooking for a camp I know, one day i notcied he was gone, they caught him pissing in one of the kitchen pans!! They let him come back, after he promised to use a jug for dawgs sakes! I sorta stopped eating there, chips please! Hahaha, anything in a BAG will do, thank you!

I, too, like defining subgroups of people with undesirable traits then boldly claiming to hate them.

Snark aside, I tend to respect people who abide by the behavior they desire in others and tend to dislike people who demand behavior in others they do not embrace in their own lives.

I couldn't tell what I think a "hippie" is without preconceiving whether I want to support or despise their existence. I like the parts that challenge society's underlying assumptions except when those things go too far. Here's some examples:

Question ownership: if you buy something but never actually touch it (i.e. land you've never seen), do you really own it? Taking it too far: because you have a TV, I should get to have one too.

Question garbage: if you dispose of something, I can take it and use it for free (i.e. broken vacuum cleaner, dumpster diving). Taking it too far: you're eating a sandwich and get up to use the bathroom, so I get to eat your sandwich.

Question freedoms: I should be able to walk all over the country without proof of identification. Taking it too far: my right to free expression includes banging garbage cans by your bedroom window all day for weeks at a time.

I guess I mean there's a way to challenge assumptions, but some assumptions come from valid reason.
